seven. Staff reported that the ordinance creates two additional council positions,
and identifies RCW requirements to be followed in filling the positions. Council
discussed the increase and appropriated funding for two additional positions as
part of the 2006 City Budget process. Even though the City won’t hit the 5,000
population trigger requiring the change in 2006, this would bring new people on
before the next budget process and would allow Yelm representation on
additional boards and committees, which is increasing Important to the City. The
ordinance has been reviewed by the City Attorney.
